Far in tho night. and yet no rest
For him! The pillow next his own
The sweet wife's face IN slnmber pressed
And he awake. alone--alone.
In vain he courted sleep--one thought
Would ever in his mind arise;
His harsh words that at noon had brought
The tear-drops to her eyes.
Slowly on lifted arm he raises
And listened. All was still as
death;
He touched her forehead ms he gazed,
He listened yet, with bated breath;
Still silently, as though he prayed,
His lips moved lightly as she slept
For God was with him and he laid
His face with hers and wept.

A New Orleans telegram says: The

of new councilmen marched up tho

should knock off and give mp their
places 20 Che new men. This demand
was, of course, refused Meantime
the crowd became demonstmtiyc, and
blows were exchanged. Suddenly "a
number of shots were fired, and men
commenced running toward the scene
from all directions. A goodly num-
ber-probably about Q hundred men
ran behind the ballast-pile which lay
on the street beside the end Of the
wharf and was about breas. high. The
strikers moved backward 10 the
sidewalk in front Of the i'm

not wait long to determine on plan u

negroes on the sidewalk could not
Withstand the onslaught and fled pre-
cipitately, some fleeing out Seventh

caused they started in pursuit, some
following the fugitiyes out Sixth street
and Others ont Seventh street. The

PUTS AND CALLS an Chicago.
4 Crusade Begun Against Operators
i'm the Open Hoard.

a Chicago special says: When the
EOard of Trade, acting ON the advice
Of It's attorney, placed n ban on trading
in puts and calls, such operations being
in direct conflict with the statutes Of
the State, il eliminated the business in
its own organization but the affection
for puts and calls WAS not quenchcd
in the bOsoms Of the members Of the
Board. just RcrOss the street from
the big Board there il an institution
known AS the open Board OF
Trade, and no rules for the government
of members of the regular institution
could apply to it. As result tho
rather profitable business Of trading i'm
privileges WAS simply transferred 10 tho
opposite side of the street, and the daily
transactions now run as high as 3,000,-
600 bushels. The trouble in the case
arises from the fact that the business
has not only gone 10 the open Board,
but great many members of the regu-
lar Board transact IL and now tho
question arises, Can members OF the
regular Board be- disciplined for trading
in privileges ON the open Board? Those
who engage in il say not, While those
who accepted the abolition Of the Gus
tom in good faith say il the Others can
not be held 10 an observance OF the
rule Of the regular Board that they arc
at least amenable 10 the laws Of the
State; and herein lies the interesting
feature of the controversy. Those who
have given up the put-and-call business
declare that il must be stopped on the
part Of others, and that II necessary
they will go TO the extent Of lodging an
information before the grand jury, and
after indictments have been found
prosecute the cases before the courts.
They express this opinion so openly,
and withal 80 emphatically, that tho
their threats as in sober earnest, and
and some of them have already taken
steps TO cover up their sins.
They have not relinquished tho
business, but they have engaged open
board-of-tade brokers 10 do the
business for them, and 50 the practice

SOUTHERN COAST DEFENCE.
Circular Urging Action for PrOtec'
lion of Southern Coast cities.

lBy telegraph to the Dispatch
PENSACOLA, FLA, January 15.-The
Executive Committee of the Coast De
fence Association Of the coast cities Of
the South have issued the following
circular 1--WE, the the undersigned citi-
Zens Of the South Atlantic and Gulf
coast seaports, regard with alarm the
UNPROTECTED condition of our cities,
which in their present defenccless state
render them and our homes liable t.
destruction or the exaction of tribute,
equally as rlinous in the event Of war.
7 MS feeling Of alarm is intensified by
the humiliating fact that a single gun
beat Of any third-rate power may take
possession of and destroy any one of
our seaport cities, while we are unable
to defend or offer successful resistance.
While the nation has experienced the
long blessing of peace We can
not always expect this boon, and
it is imperative that our forts be
placed in state of defence which
would alone have tendency to avert
war. We therefore recommend that
convention be held at Depuniac
Springs, Fla, n central and convenient
point, to convene February 8, 1887, to
counsel as to the best method of Sc
curing protection of our coast, based
upon modern requirements. We r.
commend that his Exccllency President
Cleveland, the honorable Secretaries Of
War and Navy, both the committees Of
Congress on Military and Naval Affairs,
General Gilmore, and Captain Green,
of the United States army General
Newton, Hon. S. $. Cox, Of New York,
and others, be invited to attend, also
the Governors of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, with
four delegates at large and one from
each congressional district, appointed
by the Governors Of the above States,
and delegates from cities OF the coast
States. We would gladly include all
coast States, hut in country Of such
vast distance each section should move
in convention or otherwise
The circular is signed by prominent
citizens of all the southern coast cities.

CAMDEN AND CAUCUS

sEFAT0RsHlP.
A Cell for q Democratic Caucus that
Nay Not be Held-qho Be-
publicans.
Especial telegram to tho Dispatch

CBARLFsroN. W. VA, January ID
A call was issued to-day for q caucus OF
Democrats to be held Wednesday night
20 nominate candidate for senator, but
il is by no means sure that one will be.
The Camden men who have heretofore
been in favor of caucus changed front
to-day when it was learned that the Re
publicans would make no nomination,
and that eight or ten Republicans
would support Camden, provided tine
Democrats made none. These, WITH
the Camden Democrats, would be sutfi-
cient 10 elect him, and if caucns IS
held his nomination is assured, 50 that
it would seem in either case his election
would be sure. But here q trouble
arises. If he is the nominee OF the eau
Gus the eight or ten Republicans
could not be counted on, and his
friends are afraid TO go into the
election without having nominated him.
Then the Camden Republicansat the last
moment might prove false, and, throw
ing the entire Republican strength over
to one of the other Democratic candi-
dates, effect Camden'sdefeat. Ihiscould
only be remedicd by making Camden
Tie caucus nominee if all the Demo
Gratis could be absolutely relied on. But
o few came here avowing they intended
not to vote for Camden under any CIR
cumstances. Those, however, have
modified their views, and there is but
little doubt that they will enter the
caucus and support its nominee. In
conversation to-day with the best-in-
formed lobbyist in the city--a Repub-
lican, and one not favorable to Cam
den-he said as it stands now it is
Camden, and can't be otherwise.
Hon. John $. Barbour, who arrived
here yesterday, came to attend meet
ing Of the stockholders of the Paint
Creek Coal Company. He will leave
for home tomorrow. Mr.. Paul Evans,
who was supervisor of roads when Mr..
Barbour was president of the Virginia
Midland, and who is accompanying
Mr.. Barbour now, said in converse
ton with a gentleman to-day, that it
was contemplated to withdraw the Vir-
oinia Midland from the Richmond and
Danville system and again making Mr..
Barbour president. He also said Mr..
j. Barbour Thompson, now general
freight and passenger agent, would be
made general SUPERINTENDENT.

PRINCE NICHOLAS.
what Russia Says About Ris RE
SignRtiOn.


by Anglo American cable to the Dispatch
ST.. PETERSBURG, January 1j.-it is
announced in scmi-ofiicial circles that
Russia, having been solicited 10y the
Powers to name a candidate for the
Bulgarian throne, designated Prince
Nicholas, of Minqplia. Austria stated
that any candidate would be except
able to her, provided he was not
a Montenegrin Prince. The recep-
ton of the nomination Of Prince
Nicholas convinced Rassia that II
preconceived disposition existed 10
reject it, more because the n0m.-
nation was advanced by Russia
that from any objection to Prince
Nicholas personally. Any other candl-
date who was patroniZed by Russia
would encounter the same difficulty,
hence Russia is not disposed to choose
another candidate, though Europe
might possibly accept him. Russia de
sires, before the candidature of Prince
Nicholas be decided, that the regents
and their supporters Withdraw their
opposition to him, and that he be- fairly
presented to the Bulgarian people, who
shall be allowed to freely decide whether
they will accept him or not Russia
will not consider the question of pre-
senting the name of another candidate
until the Bulgarians reject Prince
Nicholas under the conditions mention
ed above.
